Grand Canyon snapshots

While the rest of the guys stayed in Las Vegas, Kay and I decided to make the drive up to the Grand Canyon. I know huh? What were they thinking, not wanting to see the Grand Canyon!!? Although we had been there before, Kay and I were pretty excited to walk on the newly built [...]

Huntington Gardens in 35mm natural light

It’s been such a long while since I pulled out the 35mm f/2.0. With the dependable 50mm f/1.8 and magical 85mm f/1.4 lens the 35mm has been a little neglected. Truth be told, I feel like I still need to improve my composition using the 35mm. Some of my favorite photos have come by way [...]

After seeing some of Millie’s beach photos, the girls were excited to get out there and get a few of their own! We always have fun shooting at the beach, so we made it a date and crossed our fingers for good weather. On that day, the usual bright sun made things challenging…but it was [...]

The Oscars red carpet fashion roundup

On Sunday I watched the Oscars show AND without falling asleep once, yahoo! And I am reasonably glad I didn’t. The ladies in their fashionable attire and the I’d-hit-that! Gerard Butler kept me from dozing off. I didn’t have any major “wow” moments but I thought Tina Fey looked magnificent in her sexy Micheal Kors [...]

Photography tips: Using a reflector

I thought I’d post a few photos that were taken using natural light with a reflector. A reflector is one of the least expensive source of light you can get. A reflector bounces light and can serve as either a main light or fill light. When shooting outdoors, it’s a great way to add extra [...]

California dreamin: beach photos

Seven years ago, I met one of my cousins for the very first time. I was so happy to have been able to meet more of my family from my father’s side. It was a long overdue meeting; thankfully, we had so much in common… we naturally became close friends. I bring up the seven [...]
